Howard Falls to Dixon's Dirty River

Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After everyone folded around and Stan Dixon limped from the small blind, Taylor Howard moved all in from the big blind and was snap-called by Dixon to put him at risk.
Taylor Howard: A?2?
Stan Dixon: J?9?
Howard went into this battle ahead with his ace high, and he scored a favorable flop of A?3?4? for top pair and a straight draw. But then the turn came the J? to give Dixon a pair...
"Oh, don't do it," Howard pleaded as he stood up, but it was too late as the 9? peeled off on the river to give Dixon two-pair to knock him out near the bubble.
